Submitting Your Proposal to CWPA 2017

Please carefully review the directions below before proceeding to the CWPA 2017 Conference submission form. Please keep in mind that CWPA 2017 asks that individuals submit proposals for no more than two speaking roles.

I don't need the directions: Scroll to the bottom of these instructions for the link to the submission form.

Completing the Submission Form

As you fill in the form, read the directions for each submission form input field which is provided above and beneath the input field and, in some cases, in the input field box itself.

The simplest way to add your abstract and proposal information would be to cut-and-paste it directly from your word processor. Use simple formatting as you would with plain text email (e.g., line breaks instead of indents for paragraph delineation, aestericks or hyphens for bullets).

Once you have entered all the requested information, click on "Preview." You'll then see a preview page of what you have submitted. You can make additional changes at this screen and "Preview" again.

IMPORTANT! You must click on "Save" to submit your proposal. You should receive an email confirmation from the website shortly after submission.

What to Expect after Submission

Once submitted, your proposal is stored at wpacouncil.org and will be ready for program reviewers. You will not be able to access or edit your proposal during review once it has been submitted.

The website will automatically notify you by email once your proposal has been submitted on the site (this may take several minutes for the email to reach your account). If the proposal is accepted, only the submitter will be contacted (the submitter is responsible for contacting any other panel participants).
